Progress!
Posted by stephanie on September 14th, 2007
We are making progress as we continue our healing. Thursday my red blood cell (RBC) count dropped low enough they decided to transfuse 2 units of RBC. RBCs help carry oxygen to the cells. Wouldn’t you know the 1st unit resulted in a minor blood reaction. We waited a day and were successful in transfusing 2 units on Friday. Friday was also a big breakthrough as we marked 36 hours without fever. These steps earned us a transfer out of the ICU to the Oncology unit. Praise God!!! Thanks again for all the prayers and know this is proof God hears our prayers.
